From one of the streets deeper inside the safe zone, a line of armored vehicles had been positioned across the road, forming a makeshift barricade. Behind them, Wolf Team held their ground, firing through the gaps between the vehicles as wave after wave of infected rushed toward them.
"Keep the formation!" Thomas shouted, moving along the line as he checked his soldiers. "Don't let them break through! Watch your spacing!"
The veterans followed his orders, but several of the newer recruits were already struggling to keep their composure. One young soldier fired wildly as an infected rushed toward him, his shots scattering uselessly across the street. When the creature came within a few meters, panic took over and he turned to run.
"Hey! Get back here!" Thomas shouted.
The soldier froze for a moment before reluctantly turning around, but his hesitation had already affected the men around him. A few others began stepping backward as the infected slammed against the armored vehicles.
